I fire 3 fish under these circumstances. One tends to miss, two usually hit. Sometimes, I'll miss with all three, and rarely, I'll hit with all three as happened yesterday.

I wait until the target is a couple degrees ahead of firing bearing, fire one, fire one on the firing bearing, and one a couple degrees after.

Radar only or sound only is not as easy. Radar and sound together gives alternating reports one after the other, making it much easier, i.e.

"Radar contact bearing 340...Sound contact bearing 342...radar contact bearing 344...sound contact bearing 346"

as opposed to, say, just sound

"Sound contact bearing 340....................sound contact bearing 344..............sound contact bearing 348........................."
